Automatic Control of Atmospheric and Space Flight Vehicles: Design and Analysis with MATLAB® and Simulink® (Control Engineering) - Tapa dura

From the reviews:

“Book describes the topics on introductory material on controls, Flight Dynamic Models, Control Design Techniques, Automatic Control of Aircraft, Rockets, and Spacecraft. ... The book, with good collection of exercises with answers, makes it an excellent choice for using it to teach relevant courses for undergraduate senior or graduate junior year students in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering. Others working in aerospace-related industry, federal labs will find it useful for self-study. ... It is a good addition to the related field of aerospace controls ... .” (D.

Automatic Control of Atmospheric and Space Flight Vehicles  is perhaps the first book on the market to present a unified and straightforward study of the design and analysis of automatic control systems for both atmospheric and space flight vehicles. Covering basic control theory and design concepts, it is meant as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in modern courses on flight control systems. 

In addition to the basics of flight control, this book covers a number of upper-level topics and will therefore be of interest not only to advanced students, but also to researchers and practitioners in aeronautical engineering, applied mathematics, and systems/control theory.
